Dharmendra's wife, famous actress Hema Malini, had previously recounted stories about her father-in-law. In her biography, ‘Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl’ by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, she stated that her father-in-law was very fond of her and her family, frequently visiting her father and brother.
She mentioned, “He would drop by and meet my father or brother for chai (tea). Instead of shaking hands he would arm-wrestle them, and after defeating them he would jokingly say, ‘Tum log ghee-makkhan-lassi khao, idli aur sambhar se taqat nahi aati’ (You guys should eat ghee, butter and lassi. Idli and sambhar won’t give you strength).” She further recalled, “My father would join in the laughter. He was a very jovial person.”
Dharmendra was last seen on screen in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, co-starring Shabana Azmi.
